I'm looking for a slip-on that matches the black on my bike. I have found tons of carbon fiber, etc, but no real nice ones that actually match. I want to eventually black out everything and I know if I go with carbon fiber or titanium I will end up regretting not finding the black that I want. I saw one thread in a forum where the guy modified his exhaust to accept the stock shorty can from the '06. I could go that route but I'd rather just find a high quality slip-on. Anyone know of one that I must be over looking?

Here's the bike to give you an idea:

TIA

You could take a regular canninster and have it Jet hot coated or powder coated.

Akrapovic's carbon cannister is also pretty close to black.

I was wondering if that would work, I'll definately look into it. Akrapovics are sweet, the only issue I have w/ their carbon can is the giant logo and the stainless outlet on the circle pipe.

And as far as I am concerned Yoshimura is the way to go. Hoping to swap my slip-on for a full. I know they are great performance wise but I love the way yoshis sounds compared to any other pipes I have heard on an R6.

That does look really good Ryan. If I have to go carbon fiber then I will, but I would honestly just prefer a straight black pipe.

Thanks. I got that slip on a month old for $250 from a guy on R6-Forums.

Could likely find a full used somewhere and save the money. One thing I like about the carbon fiber. It doesn't get that hot, even with the baffles removed.

If I had $800 lying around to put towards the full I'd sell it to you in a heartbeat

Anyone familiar with Bruce Fabrication? The red/black may look tight on the bike:

This Bruce exhaust looks pretty sweet, I just wish I could find a true review on it.
